Check out the interview below I did with StartupsLIVE.tv about the launch of Tatango.TV.

Check out our first sponsor for Tatango.TV right here, www.PodiumRevolution.com (very cool!) Below is the sneak peak screenshot I promised you guys… enjoy!

I am officially announcing that Tatango will be launching Tatango.TV on March 1, 2009.

The website will initially broadcast live the company’s reception area, which has been converted into a basketball court, conference room, marketing bullpen and my office, with plans to expand web cams to every inch of the office. The website will also be accessible to anyone interested in watching our eleven person team, all under the age of 24, work the long, red-bull charged hours required in a startup.

The Tatango.TV website will also include employee biographies, photos and pull status updates from employee twitter accounts. The website will also include short videos captured outside the office on our Flip portable video camera.

I just got some pretty cool news and I had to share it with my readers. Tatango has been nominated by the Northwest Business Monthly as Startup Business of the Year. We did a photo shoot for the magazine with photographer Mitch Moquin and embedded some of the shots below.

This is a great honor to be nominated in this category and I have to thank all of the people that stood by us. Our employees, investors, users, partners and supporters in the community have made all of this possible, and they definitely deserve to share in this nomination. This last year has been a great year for sure, but I can assure you that next year will be even better for Tatango.

I was watching TV last night and saw a commercial for the Blackberry Curve from Sprint that I thought was good enough for me to post on my blog (it actually turns out to be a series of commercials so I posted the ones I could find). I love how they are taking industries that definitely need help in efficiency like schools, government and airlines, combining them with industries that are know for their efficiencies like firefighting, roadies and delivery companies, not including the US Post office of course. How could your business be run more efficiently?
